Hi
Re: WIP Projects: CAF UT-440R and GEC-Alsthom NS-93
Above the doors are the line diagrams. Above the windows in between the doors are the add banners, for which 3 repaintable textures are available. But as you can see on the screenshot; you can fit multiple adds on each add banner.
I plan to convert line M6 to the "Materiel Pneu" system for the next release.
Also, there is the Rijndam Airport Shuttleservice, for which I'll provide a shortened version of the train.
But if you really want to.... Technically you can run the train on all Rijndam & Simvliet 3rd rail lines too... it just wouldn't be very realistic to do so, as the normal train wheels in between the rubber tires are in reality only used for emergencies, guidence in switches, and workshop movements.

Then is there only one full 3rd rail line. And so much trains without a pantograph.

3rd rail options:
Rijndam:
Rijndam:
- M1: Molenwijk - Noorderpoort
- M2/'M3: Station Westplein - Centraal Station
- M4: Entire line, Transferium Rijndijk - Rijndam Airport
- M6: Entire line, Station Blaak - Tropicana
- M7: 3rd+4th rail, but too narrow tunnels if you're not a London Underground tube-train.
- Airport shuttle: Entire line, Terminal 4 - Parking P10.
- A: All, except for Stadionweg-Araplein section.
- C: Simvliet Centraal Station - Airport - Centrum - Lelywaard - Delfsblaak
- D: Hageningen, between Central Station and Strandboulevard

More version you add, more I will be happy to use it. Perhaps you sould do (if possible/you want) both 3car and 4car version so 3car can be used in double-traction or multiple unit, and if 4car fits to Airport shuttle. 6car train is 90m lenght. 2 4car trains coupled is 120m (60+60) One carrige made approx. 15m.Sjoerd wrote: ↑09 Jun 2020, 10:13 With the parts I have, I am now planning these variations:
- Santiago exterior, Driver operation interior (6,7,8 car combinations).
- Paris exterior, Driver operation interior (5,6 car combinations).
- Rijndam Airportshuttle, Driver operation interior (3 or 4 car combination; probably 3... or 4 if that fits the stopmarkers on the line).

I correct myself, it seems that indeed, contrary to MP89, NS93 have a lot more on the roof. Little problematic when the train is "just" a reskin, but not exactly.
Re: WIP Projects: CAF UT-440R and GEC-Alsthom NS-93
I never stated that. I just said there is 3rd rail in Hageningen, between the Central Station and Strandboulevard.RotterdamMetroLover wrote: ↑10 Jun 2020, 10:50There is no 3rd rail between Simvliet West and Hageningen Centraal.
Not possible; the couplers of the MP89 don't have elektrical components; they are only mechanical. Therefore, you can only couple to tow away another train, as you can't operate the doors of the train you are coupled to, and the engines of the coupled train also remain offline (meaning slower acceleration, as the coupled train is basically 'dead weight').

The Paris version (interior is still Santiago version, I'll look at that later).
